School holidays can be difficult for some families. The cost of extra food, childcare, and activities to keep children active and entertained can be challenging.

The Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme is a scheme funded by the Department for Education. It gives children who are eligible for free school meals the opportunity to take part in fun, enriching activities and receive a healthy meal. It runs during Easter, summer and the Christmas school holidays,

Our HAF programme develops skills and improves knowledge and confidence around active travel including walking, cycling and wheeling. Raising awareness of how sustainable travel reduces local air pollution, protects the environment, and helps to improve both physical and mental health, making us feel healthier and happier.

Who's involved?

We are in working with local schools, voluntary and community organisations as well as childcare providers to deliver the HAF programme to over 2,000 eligible pupils in Warrington.
